The Best Practice Awards recognize exceptional, innovative public relations campaigns and tactics from some of the industry’s leading PR agencies. Gold, silver and bronze award recipients are voted on by members of over 50 PRGN agencies to select the best international campaigns in a number of categories, including “B2B Communications,” “Sustainability,” “Communication to Gen-Z” and more. This year, PRGN received the highest number of entries ever in the 12-year history of the awards, with more than 150 entries across 23 different categories.
Buchanan Public Relations was honored with a silver award in the category of “Thought Leadership and Expert Positioning” for its work with client Athena Strategies. BPR partnered with Kathy Boockvar, President of Athena Strategies and former Pennsylvania Secretary of State, to position Boockvar as a national thought leader on election security. Utilizing an aggressive expert positioning and newsjacking strategy, BPR secured multiple placements for Boockvar in top-tier U.S. news outlets, including the Associated Press and NPR, discussing election security and her experience overseeing the tumultuous 2020 election.
“I am so proud of our team’s efforts and success with Athena Strategies, and am humbled to be recognized alongside the impressive campaigns of our PRGN affiliates,” said Anne Buchanan, APR, President of Buchanan Public Relations. “We are proud to support Athena Strategies in its efforts to strengthen our democracy and uphold the integrity of elections.
